Letter from God to Humanity



Hello my children.

This is Yahweh, the one true Lord. 


Even so, it’s easier for heaven and earth to disappear than to drop one point of the Law. Those who sin without the written law still die, and those who sin knowing the written law will be judged by that law. 

For it is not just listening to what the law says that makes you right in God’s sight. It is those who do what the law says who will be set right. 

When even the foreigners who do not have the written law do what it says naturally, they operate according to law even without the written law. Through this they reveal the actions of the law that is written on their hearts. As they reflect on what they do, their conscience either accuses or defends them. You who boast of having the law—do you not shame God by breaking it? Jesus said, “Don’t think I came to abolish the law or the prophets’ writings. I didn’t come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. I promise you, until heaven and earth are gone, not one hyphen nor one dot will be gone from the law before everything is fulfilled. So whoever breaks the least important commandment, and teaches people to do so, will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 
I tell you, unless your righteousness is better than that of the religious teachers and the Pharisees, there’s no way you’ll enter the kingdom of heaven." 

For as many as are trying to do the law , that many are cursed; because it has been written, "Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all that has been commanded in the book of the law." Being circumcised is good if you do what the law says, but if you break the law, your circumcision is as worthless as those who are not circumcised at all. 

If someone is not circumcised but does what the law says, should the fact he is not circumcised not be taken as if he were? Will the uncircumcised foreigners who keep the law not judge you, who though you have the written law and circumcision, are a law-breaker? What makes you a Jew is on the inside, and “circumcision of the heart,” following not the letter of the law but the spirit—someone who is praised by God, not people. Now we recognize that whatever the law stipulates is for those who are subject to the law. In this way every objection is silenced, and everyone is made answerable to God. For no one is made right before God by doing what the law says, because the law only helps us understand what sin is. But now God has revealed how we can be made right—a way that does not have to do with the law, even though it was spoken of by the law and the prophets. 

So can we boast about anything? No chance! Why? Because we do not follow the law of observance, but the law of trust. Does that mean that because we trust in God we get rid of the law ? Certainly not—instead we confirm the importance of the law. “How blessed are those whose law-breaking is dismissed, and whose sins are forgiven." For God’s promise to Abraham and his descendants that the world would belong to him was not based on his law-keeping, but that he was made right through his trust in God. Because if the inheritance is law-based, then the issue of trusting God is not valid, and the promise is pointless, for the law results in punishment—but if there is no law then it cannot be broken. So the promise is based on trusting God, given as a free gift that is guaranteed to everyone, not just to those observe the law, but also to those who trust like Abraham, the father of us all. 

Even before the law there was sin in the world, but sin is not kept count of where there is no law. When the Law came along, sin was even more obvious. But where sin was even more, grace was even more than that. Sin shall not rule over you, because you are not under law but under grace. So then—shall we sin because we are not under law , but under grace? Absolutely not! Do you not understand (here I am talking to people who know the law) that the law has authority over someone as long as they are alive? For example, a married woman is bound by the law to her husband while he is alive, but when he dies, she is released from this legal obligation to him. While we were under the control of our old nature, our sinful desires (as revealed by the law) were at work within us and resulted in death. But now we have been released from these legal obligations, and have died to what bound us, so that we can obey in the newness of the spirit and not the old letter of the law. What should we conclude? That the law is sin? Of course not! Even so, I would not have known what was sin unless the law defined it—I would not have known selfish desires were wrong without the law saying “Do not selfishly desire what belongs to someone else.” But through this commandment sin found the opportunity to produce in me all kinds of selfish desires—for if there is no law, then sin is dead.

Once I was alive, living without a relationship to the law, but when the commandment arrived, then sin came back to life and I died. However the law is holy, the commandment is holy, right, and good. We realize that the law is to do with what is spiritual, but I am all-too-human sold as a slave to sin. But if I am doing what I do not want to, this shows that I agree that the law is right. Love does nothing wrong to neighbors, so love fulfills the law. and we know that a person is never justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. We believed in Jesus Christ that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by obeying the law. My body is not justified by the law. Clearly, no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The just will live by faith."

The law is not of faith, and those doing it live under it. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law having become a curse on our behalf, as it is written, "Cursed are those hung on a tree," I say to you: this contract, ratified by God, was not annulled by the law which came four hundred and thirty years later. If inheritance came via the law, then it no longer comes by promise; but since God gave Abraham a promise, then why the law?

It was added through angels, on orders of the mediator, because of sin until the coming of the seed to whom the promise was given. Therefore, is the law against the promised of God? Certainly not! For if the law was able to give life, righteousness would have come through the law. Before faith came we were confined by the law to the faith about to be revealed. The law was our guardian, who led us to Christ, so that we might be justified by faith. So when the time was right, God sent forth his son to be born of a woman and under the law,  so that he might redeem those under the law and adopt us. 

Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to what it says? Again, I swear that any person who allows themselves to be circumcised is obliged to obey the whole law. Even if someone keeps the whole law but fails on one point, they are guilty of it all. Don't speak evil about each other, brothers, for he who speaks evil or judges another, speaks against and judges the law. If you judge the law, you aren't a doer of the law, but a judge. There is only one law giver who is able to save and to destroy. So who are you to judge your neighbor?You have found creation's secret. 
Now share it peacefully with the world.
